Why? Curious.
Hal and I saw several Bond films in a Bond festival in the early 70’s and
enjoyed them. Sean Connery is the only Bond we have ever seen.Friends have said later actors have been good
too. And with Judi Dench they can’t be all bad.So we bought the box...

Seen: February 27, 2015

It’s becoming more and more difficult to write about
these films. Anything new, that is.And
there are still many left. With two more actors.

Oh well.

This time:

Songs by Gladys Knight and Patti LaBelle.

Opening scenes: unusually boring. The intros are often
the most artistic part. Not on this one.

It’s personal this time. Friends of Bond are injured
and killed by drug lords. He becomes a rogue agent with Q and Moneypenny’s help.It could, should, be interesting. But we’ve
seen most of it before. Including the pretty fish. And some cats.

Essentially it’s dull. There isn’t even any humour
and the bad puns are very few.
